    • New Cartel Announces the End of Cheap Gas
      Not to mention it is the ONLY fuel source in the world that can BOTH operate transport and generate electricity in its natural state with minimal environmental consequences.

    • New Cartel Announces the End of Cheap Gas
      Moreover, considering this geopolitically (and perhaps selfishly), such a Russian NG monopoly vis a vis Europe and Asia can only benefit the U.S. economically.

    • New Cartel Announces the End of Cheap Gas
      Oh, and the BEST PART is the overwhelming bulk of these reserves are not on public lands (TG!) or un-Green, so the Congress couldn't place a moratorium on its production (unlike oil shale, coal, nuclear, or the OCS) even if they wanted to.

    • New Cartel Announces the End of Cheap Gas
      Thanks to recent discoveries, the U.S. now has over 100 YEARS of proven domestic reserves of NG. And this doesn't include the future production of known methane hydrates, which drawf our supplies of traditional NG. We may be the Saudi Arabia of wind, but we are assuredly way ahead of the Russians and anyone else in the world when it comes to the ability to mine natural gas.

    • How Will GM's Financial Health Progress?
      In for a penny, in for a pound.

      That pretty much sums up the status of the federal "takeover" of the U.S. auto industry. The question that remains is can our government make the extraordinarily difficult decisions to put this primary domestic manufacturing industry back on track to any sort of future profitability?

      The problem is we produce too many vehicles, too many of the wrong vehicles, and too many vehicles of questionable quality. If we fold Chrysler into GM, can the new company survive? If GM were allowed to go bankrupt, wouldn't this benefit Ford? These and other questions need quick answers, but we can't get them without an independent and knowledgeable Car Czar.

      Only someone with the ability and reputation of Jack Welsh, the former legendary CEO of General Electric, could possibly sort this out and hope to turn it around. Failing the appointment of Welsh or another individual of his caliber to head up such an all out effort, the betting here is that Detroit is doomed.

    • Has GM Changed Its Tune Yet?
      The ONLY way such vehicles can be competitive in the future is if they are built dual-fueled (gasoline and CNG). Even if the Pickens Plan is adopted, however, it will still take awhile to ramp up LNG and CNG refueling stations. The clock is ticking.

    • Has GM Changed Its Tune Yet?
      Big trucks and SUV's aren't the answer. The sooner our domestic automakers get this through their heads the better off they'll be, along with U.S. taxpayers.

    • Will the U.S. Fight the German Car Invasion?
      It is true that there is terrific competition between automakers for sales in the U.S. and throughout the world. Fortunately for us, the Germans aren't anywhere near the leaders in this endeavor.

    • U.S. In the Midst of a Revolution
      Well, anyway, you're right about ONE thing. CHEAP ENERGY, which the U.S. holds within its province the ability to reestablish, will restore our domestic economy. We can either do this now or later. But do it we must, and do it we will. And the sooner the better.

    • Obama Is Greentech's New Genie in a Bottle
      You're right about one thing. Without massive inputs of government funding, virtually ALL the industries you name are destined to FAIL.

    • Will 2009 Be Any Better for Car Companies?
      For the problems they face are now truly acute. EVEN if you need a new vehicle, EVEN if you still have a secure job and good credit, EVEN if you believe gasoline prices aren't going to skyrocket once more, and EVEN if you believe your car company and dealer are going to be around to service your warranty, you have to be some kind of OPTIMIST to buy one now.

    • Will 2009 Be Any Better for Car Companies?
      For those of us who marvel at what economists call "creative destruction," we're getting to see it first hand as the U.S. auto industry crashes and burns before our eyes. It will be interesting to witness the eventual outcome for these companies and their brand names that have been mainstays in our lives since our youth.

    • Chinese Companies Go Abroad (Part 1: The Auto Sector)
      Truly fascinating. Thank you.

      It appears the Chinese auto industry has one major disadvantage, and one major advantage over its competitors. It is attempting to play catch-up in a highly sophisticated and capital intense mature industry. At the same time, however, it doesn't have angry stockholders breathing down its neck every quarter.

    • Beat the Bull Market With Oil and Russia Plays
      You guys have guts, I'll give you that.

      Here's another bullish clue -- small stocks are up 25% off their bottoms.

      And I believe you're right about Treasuries, as well. I've been looking for a way to play this theme short term besides the obvious long term one (gold). Thanks.
